I love Adam's use of sounds and nostalgia. His music just transports me somewhere else or somewhere I feel like I've been before. He is just so inspirational and even a Christian, much respect for him!

The Adam Young/ OC community never ceases to impress me with its compassion and creativity. Thank you for making this compilation for us :)

We all love Adam Young and his projects for reasons that are so personal to us, that are his little signatures of music that appear in different ways throughout his many different songs and projects. However, I have noticed that whether the world and music industry realize it, or put a finger on it, Adam has directly created the world, music, and music industry into what it is today. I have noticed this on so many levels, I would like to share just a few of them. Of course, when Fireflies came out, it hit the nail on the head with a sound that the world was craving, but hadn't been able to hear yet. It was an electronic yet percussive synth arpeggio and synth "pluck". This is important, since it wasn't well defined before Fireflies. The synth arp you hear is not only a neat sounding synth arp, but it has a music box sound to it, with percussive sounds with each note. The percussive sounds doubled with the synth plucks have become ubiquitous -- but nothing existed like that before fireflies A vocal production technique was also introduced in Fireflies, which was the use of the "telephone effect" on the lead vocal over the entire length of the song. Before Adam used this (which is an EQ "bell curve", or simply using both a low pass and a high pass filter at the same time), is something that the industry pre-fireflies not only didn't use, but would have been appalled by even the idea of using. Before fireflies, vocals were produced to be dynamic with emphasized lows and highs. After fireflies, nearly every vocal produced in today's industry uses the telephone effect. That mixing technique has been used in Justin Bieber's vocals tracks in everything from Purpose on. The use of organic recordings to produce kicks, snares, hats and other percussive elements. Some of the biggest OC fans in the professional music production industry are are other EDM producers and DJ's. Not long after Adam Young showed the world how he layers random recordings to make unique beats -- this technique suddenly showed up everywhere. Most notably, the way Grey said they use the same technique. In a world of EDM, only the best sounding electronic samples were used. After Adam Young's influence, many EDM artists are producing with noises they recorded themselves. Adam showed his own percussive layering when he showed how to make sounds out of shaking a leather jacket, taking a bite out of an apple, hitting random things he found in his garage, etc. More recently, Adam released his Cinematic album. In this, he referenced a lot of his life, which included a lot of his "growing up" years. These themes were branded and expressed with retro pictures and vibes. Scenes from the late 80's and 90's were used a lot in Cinematic. And like nearly everything else, the music industry started doing the same thing not long after. All of a sudden, the music industry was flooded with "90's vibes" that did not exist before Cinematic With Cinematic, Adam released his 18-track album in "reels" of 3-4 songs every month or so. Then, many more artists started releasing their albums in chunks of 3-4 songs rather than entire albums -- that had certainly not been done before, at least at a mainstream or recognizable level Many of the music industries leaders have outright said their music started by trying to make music similar to Owl City when they first started. One example is LAUV, who made hits like, "I like Me Better" and "There's No Way" said Owl City was his direct inspiration when he first started making music on MySpace back in the late 2000's. One interesting sound he made as part of his Corduroy Road score was the use of an old upright felted piano, with a very intimate sounding sustain pedal. That is the piano you hear with the little fuzzy percussive noises layers with each note played on the piano. Again, he takes existing sounds (piano notes) and layers percussive elements with it. The felted piano, which was used beautifully in Corduroy Road is now ubiquitous and one of the most created and utilized VST / virtual instruments on the market In 2016 when Adam made his scores projects, he took events in history and explored them through music. This had been done before in a sense, but not in the style or way he had made it -- with each album and standalone exploration of these events through creative music. There have been several rebound musicians who have now produced instrumental albums focused on a single event in a storytelling way the same way Adam did with his scores.

My dog recently had surgery and I played this for him so he could be calm. I think he really likes it.

I put this on my "skewl chill" youtube playlist and listen to this whole compilation whenever it turns on. Right now it's helping me through 2 long history courses. Big thanks from a senior in hs struggling to graduate!

This is truly astounding, perfect study music, especially for physics. The only thing that is lacking is the tracklist. Otherwise, a good job.

I've listened to the whole thing all the way through about six or seven times already since I found it a few months ago... It's been extremely helpful to have a two hour mix of some of Adam's most calming music to help with curing my insomnia, getting my homework done, or just improving my imagination as I read or write stories. Thank you very much for putting this all together!

Whoever disliked this... Why??

1:32:15 That breath made me feel peace...

WHY HAVE I NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE?! I NEEDED THAT😩😭

thankyou. adam always brought me to safest place

I really like this! Thank you Adam. You are the best!!! Also, thank you for your Christian music also.

Thanks Will for sharing...Adam is a legend.

This music is relaxing and amazing while staying at home during these uncertain times. Thank you for putting this together.

Adam you are so gifted, your songs/sounds heal me and make me happy when the day is saying I should be miserable.

thank you..really appreciate

I've been an Owl City fan for quite a long time, so imagine my surprise and happiness when I came across this video. I've only heard a few of these, so I have to make some coffee, sit down, and listen to this thoroughly. Thanks for uploading it 👌🏻✨

I love this Adam is truly amazing

This is an amazing collection dude, thank you for the work you put into finding and editing it all of this together

This list of ambient music from Adam Young is fantastic! I have listened to it countless times and I never get tired of it! His music is wonderful and unique. Thank you! :)

32:40 The underwater feel is amazing!

1:35:47 I hoped this song would be in the mix... my favourite track

We are all incredibly thankful for the uniqueness, calmness, and altogether experimental and creative endeavors that Adam Young has put into each of these pieces, and dozens, if not hundreds more, and his ability to capture our imaginations and give us new worlds to mentally explore through his music. However we must also thank the creator of this playlist! Hard work was also put into making a playlist that is not only beautiful in nature, but seems to really flow from one piece to another. Without dedicated people like Polibot, we wouldn't have such beautiful playlists so readily available. So thank you both for this power combo! Absolutely loved every second throughout, and I couldn't have done it without ya.

So I actually listened to ALL OF IT without stopping once! And it is amazing!🤩🤩 Perfect ending as well👍

this is beautiful

ok but 24:17 SLAPS. Also I didn't even know Adam Young scores existed till now so THANK YOU.

Adam's music has helped me in an immeasurable manner. Thanks for this wonderful compilation.

This is exceptionally well put together. Great choice of tracks and great blending between them. I'll definitely get a lot of plays out of this. Thank you for making it.

Thank you so much. All of my favorite beats from the albums in one place. Totally needed this for calming down and editing photos.

I love Adam Young’s music.Thank you so much for spending the time to put this together for all of us to enjoy. It’s beautiful!

I'm not really passionate about too many artists. Couple mainstream. DC Talk mainly Peter Furler from the Newsboys and Adam Young. I really like the creativity and depth. Definitely a artist and composer ⚔️

I adore Owl City's music so much, but haven't listened to all of his work. I loved his Ocean Eyes album, it has my top favorite songs ever. I had an epiphany that the instrumental parts in his songs alone are so beautiful, he must have created some instrumental only, ambient pieces. And sure enough, I found this post. You have definitely delivered. Thank you so much. And thanks to Adam Young for his gorgeous work.

This mix is fantastic. Thank you so much for putting it together!

I didn’t know if this existed when I searched for it, but I’m thankful you delivered

its 2021 and adam is with is us keeping us nestled in his amazing works. thanks for this.

Absolute masterpiece. Thank you so much for taking the time to put this together and sharing with us!!!

Man this evokes the same feelings when I first listened it in 2016

Hi :) I am a really big fan of Owl City and I would like to thank you for the two hour video/track. It's amazing!! So relaxing🤗

That is, indeed, a masterpiece!

26:20 anybody know this score?! It’s incredible. Honestly some of Adams finer work I think will always be in his score collections.

ABSOLUT LEGEND for doing this adam young mix, thank you so much

Amazing. Simply amazing.

Magnific work dude

This is awesome. Thanks Will.

28:10 Nearer My God To Thee. Almost made me cry...

This is what I have been looking for

THANKS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED!

Maybe I'm speaking just for myself, but I'm waiting tbe next part of this

this is really well made.

Thank you so much for this video :)

I miss owl city so much, I now covid just hit us so that's why a lot of musicians are not touring. But I feel almost as if Adam quit completely from making anymore Owl City or Port Blue. :(

Pity on those who dislikes purity music..
